The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is not only talking waste and fraud in Washington, D.C., but also strangling bureaucratic regulations that prevent much from being accomplished within government.
Case in point, a post on X from the official DOGE account highlighting Elon Musk’s brainchild was able to accomplish a simple task in just over an hour that a federal engineer reportedly said would take 103 days.
“On the http://IRS.gov website, the ‘log in’ button was not in the top right on the navbar like it is on most websites. It was weirdly placed in the middle of the page below the fold,” the post began. “An IRS engineer explained that the *soonest* this change could get deployed is July 21st… 103 days from now.”
“This engineer worked with the DOGE team to delete the red tape and accomplished the task in 71 minutes. See before/after pictures below,” the post continued. “There are great people at the IRS, who are simply being strangled by bureaucracy.”

Musk participated in a Cabinet meeting on Thursday, informing President Donald J. Trump that the agency has identified $150 billion dollars in waste and fraud.
“Thanks to your fantastic leadership, this amazing Cabinet, and the very talented DOGE team, I’m excited to announce that we anticipate savings in ’26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion,” Musk explained.
The total breaks down to $931.68 in savings for each American taxpayer, according to the DOGE website.
DOGE shared some of those saving in a post this week highlighting the abuse of millions of dollars in unemployment claims:
An initial survey of Unemployment Insurance claims since 2020 revealed the following:
– 24.5k people over 115 years old claimed $59M in benefits
– 28k people between 1 and 5 years old claimed $254M in benefits
– 9.7k people with birth dates over 15 years in the future claimed…— Department of Government Efficiency (@DOGE) April 10, 2025
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
Our government is useless.

Imagine telling your boss it’ll take 103 days to move a button and not getting laughed out of the building.
Only in government.

It’s not that it takes that long to actually do it. They probably have to submit a request. And then that gets queued. And then it gets built and tested and then they probably have to wait for a quarterly webpage release date. Everyone complaining about this has never worked in…

Bureaucracies metastasize because they confuse motion with progress. But when an outsider shows up and fixes in an hour what they couldn’t in 100 days, it exposes the lie.
The problem isn’t budget—it’s mindset. DOGE proved that competence is revolutionary when incompetence is…
